Setting up a user with an escape sequence is optional. For any NIS, LDAP, RADIUS,
Kerberos, or user, or any local user who does not have an escape sequence
defined, the default escape sequence is Esc+A.
Device Ports - Logging
The SLB products support port buffering of the data on the system's device ports as well as
notification of receiving data on a device port. Port logging is disabled by default. You can enable
more than one type of logging (local, NFS file, email/SNMP, or USB port) at a time. The buffer
containing device port data is cleared when any type of logging is enabled.
Local Logging
If local logging is enabled, each device port stores 256 Kbytes (approximately 400 screens) of I/O
data in a true FIFO buffer. You may view this data (in ASCII format) at the CLI with the
show
locallog
command or on the
Devices > Device Ports - Logging
page. Buffered data is normally
stored in RAM and is lost in the event of a power failure if it is not logged using an NFS mount
solution. If the buffer data overflows the buffer capacity, only the oldest data is lost, and only in the
amount of overrun (not in large blocks of memory).
NFS File Logging
Data can be logged to a file on a remote NFS server. Data logged locally to the SLB branch office
manager is limited to 256 Kbytes and may be lost in the event of a power loss. Data logged to a file
on an NFS server does not have these limitations. The system administrator can define the
directory for saving logged data on a port-by-port basis and configure file size and number of files
per port.
The directory path must be the local directory for one of the NFS mounts. For each logging file,
once the file size reaches the maximum, a new file opens for logging. Once the number of files
reaches the maximum, the oldest file is overwritten. The file naming convention is: <Device Port
Number>_<Device Port Name>_<File number>.log.
Examples:
02_Port-2_1.log
02_Port-2_2.log
02_Port-2_3.log
02_Port-2_4.log
02_Port-2_5.log
USB Flash Drive Logging
Data can be logged to a USB flash drive that is loaded into the USB port on the front of the SLB
). Data logged locally to the SLB unit is limited
to 256 Kbytes and may be lost in the event of a power loss. Data logged to a USB flash drive does
not have these limitations. The system administrator can define the file size and number of files
per port. For each logging file, once the file size reaches the maximum, a new file opens for
logging. Once the number of files reaches the maximum, the oldest file is overwritten. The file
naming convention is:
<Device Port Number>_<Device Port Name>_<File
number>.log
.
Examples:
02_Port-2_1.log
